Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for making glass containers, having opposed neck ring sections to form the finish portion of a glass container and a neck ring guide for guiding the opening and closing of the neck ring sections.
  • Glassware making machines typically employ invert arms for transferring the neck ring sections between a blank station to a blow station, and a neck ring guide to keep the opposed neck ring sections aligned during their opening and closing movements.
  • a neck ring guide in current use has a circular flange that engages an internal circular groove in each of the neck ring sections.
  • the neck ring sections open far enough to clear the parison finish and permit it to be removed, the neck ring sections become partially disengaged from the neck ring guide. This partial disengagement can allow the neck ring sections to be thrown out of position by the forces produced when the invert arms transfer the neck ring sections back to the blank side of the machine. Also, upon subsequent closing of the neck ring sections, there is excessive friction between the neck ring sections and the neck ring guide.
  • US patent 5,725,629 describes a guide ring for an I.S. glass forming machine. In the opening and closing of the neck ring sections with respect to one another, they are guided by a guide ring assembly having an annular flange member with a peripheral portion which is slidebly received in opposed recesses of the neck ring sections.
  • Other guide ring assemblies or neck ring holders are described in US patent 4,222,762 and in US patent 3,785,795 .
  • US patent 4,273,569 describes a neck ring apparatus with a pair of sprockets selectively engaging roller tracks as the mechanism proceeds along its predetermined path to open and close the neck ring segments.
  • US patent 3,244,499 describes a neck ring mold assembly which is provided with bell cranks to separate the ring mold halves to release an article suspended therefrom.
  • US patent 1,885,409 describes a glass ware forming machine with a body mold, which includes two mold cavities which are adapted to cooperate with bottom plates carried by a holder. Those mechanisms seem to be rather complicated.
  • Document EP 0 915 063 A2 describes a quick change invert arm assembly for an I.S. machine with neck ring assemblies installed in apertures of an opposed pair of invert arm segments.
  • the neck ring guide has a pair of parallel runners slidably disposed in external slots formed in the opposed neck ring sections, wherein said neck ring guide includes a hub and a separate, reusable guide plate replaceably mounted on said hub.
  • the runners may be either integrally formed with or replaceably mounted on a center body of the neck ring guide.
  • the runners may have outboard keepers for retaining the runners in the neck ring slots, which may be formed integrally with or replaceably mounted on the runners.
  • the runners more preferably have longitudinal slots for receiving roll pins on the neck ring sections to retain the runners in the neck ring slots.
  • the outboard runner design provides wide stable engagement with the neck ring sections, so that the neck ring sections are closely guided at all times during opening and closing movement. Being formed in the outer sides of the neck ring sections, the slots are conveniently located for surface coating options and for machining purposes.
  • One object of this invention is to provide a glassware making machine provided with neck ring sections and a neck ring guide, having one or more of the foregoing features and capabilities.
  • FIGS. 1-8 there is shown a pair of parallel invert arm sections 20 and 22 which are adapted to swing in unison from a blank station, where the neck portion of a glass parison is formed, to a blow station for the final forming step.
  • the invert arm sections 20 and 22 carry two neck ring assemblies 24 and 26, which are identical in construction. Each neck ring assembly forms the finish portion of a parison to final shape.
  • Each neck ring assembly 24, 26 has a generally circular neck ring 28 composed of two neck ring sections 30 and 32.
  • the neck ring section 30 is secured to the invert arm section 20 and the neck ring section 32 is secured to the invert arm section 22.
  • the neck ring sections 30 and 32 of each neck ring assembly are generally arcuate and opposed to one another.
  • the neck ring sections 30 and 32 close as in FIG. 1 to form a ring in which the parison finish is formed to final shape.
  • the neck ring sections 30 and 32 open as in FIG. 3 to permit the parison to be removed.
  • each neck ring assembly 24, 26 has external parallel slots 34 and 36 on opposite sides
  • the neck ring section 32 has external parallel slots 38 and 40 on opposite sides, with the guide slots 34 and 38 in alignment and the slots 36 and 40 in alignment.
  • Each neck ring assembly 30, 32 includes a neck ring guide 42.
  • the neck ring guide 42 has a center body 44 and a pair of outboard parallel runners 46 and 48 on opposite sides of the center body.
  • the runner 46 is slidably received in the aligned guide slots 34 and 38 of the neck ring sections 30 and 32 and the runner 48 is slidably received in the aligned guide slots 36 and 40 of the neck ring sections.
  • the runners may be integral with the center body as shown, or may be formed separately from the center body.
  • the runners, especially if formed separately from the center body may be made of a hardened material and finish ground to improve surface finish and lower friction.
  • Keepers 50 in the form of elongated bars extend along the length of the runners on the outboard sides thereof.
  • the keepers retain the runners 46 and 48 in the guide slots of the neck ring sections.
  • the keepers 50 run along the sides 52 and 54 of the neck ring sections 30 and 32.
  • the keepers are removably secured to the runners by fasteners 56 but may, if desired, be formed integrally with the runners.
  • the keepers When the neck ring sections open and close, the keepers contain side-to-side movement of the neck ring sections and the outboard runner design keeps the neck ring sections from rotating.
  • FIG. 8 shows a modified neck ring guide 57 in which parallel runners 58 and 59 are formed separately from and secured to opposite sides of a center body 60 by fasteners 61.
  • a keeper 62 is formed integrally with each runner.
  • Each runner and keeper combination constitutes a hardened reusable piece that may be bolted to a replaceable center body.
  • the neck ring guide 57 may be substituted for the neck ring guide 42 in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-7 .
  • FIG. 9 shows a modification of the neck ring guide in which the neck ring assembly is the same as previously described, except that the keepers for retaining the runners in the slots of the neck ring sections are secured to the neck ring sections rather than to the runners of the neck ring guide.
  • FIG. 9 shows a keeper 63 secured to one side 52 of the neck ring section 30 to retain the runner 46 in the guide slot 34, and a keeper 64 secured to the opposite side 54 of the neck ring section 30 to retain the runner 48 in the guide slot 36.
  • the keepers 63 and 64 may be formed integrally with the neck ring section or they may be replaceably mounted thereon by fasteners 65 as shown.
  • keepers 63 and 64 there is a slight clearance between the keepers 63 and 64 and the sides of the guide ring 42 to allow it to float slightly when the neck ring sections open and close. It will be understood that keepers, similar to the keepers 63 and 64, will also be secured to the neck ring section 32 in the same manner and for the same purpose.
  • invert arm sections carry a neck ring assembly 70.
  • the neck ring assembly 70 has a generally circular neck ring 72 composed of two neck ring sections 74 and 76.
  • the neck ring section 74 is secured to one of the invert arm sections (not shown) and the neck ring section 76 is secured to the other of the invert arm sections (not shown).
  • Each of the neck ring sections has a top portion 78 secured to a base portion 80 by fasteners 82.
  • the neck ring sections 74 and 76 are generally arcuate and opposed to one another.
